STREETSEY is a carefully curated, residential mentorship experience designed exclusively for amateur street photographers who want to learn, improve and challenge themselves under the guidance of an experienced mentor.
To ensure every participant receives individual attention, each cohort is limited to just seven photographers.
Explore concepts such as timing, layering, composition, visual storytelling and image curation through practical shooting and personalised mentoring.
Led by Abhishek Deb, the Founder & Chief Curator of Street Photography Gallery (SPG World), STREETSEY brings together a small cohort of like-minded photographers for an immersive learning experience in a handpicked Indian city. Through practical shooting, meaningful conversations and personalised mentoring, participants are encouraged to develop a stronger photographic eye and a more thoughtful approach to street photography.
For the host city each cohort is announced with the programme, every location is handpicked not for sightseeing, but for its unique street photography potential.
If you're willing to invest time in your craft, step outside your comfort zone and learn alongside passionate photographers, we'd love to hear from you.
